LUF6000 effect on disease manifestation in a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) model of osteoarthritis (OA) in rats. The OA experimental model was induced by injection of MIA to the intra-articularly through the patellar ligament of the right knee. LUF6000 (100 μg/kg) administered PO; BID starting upon onset of disease showed a decrease in disease manifestation compared to the vehicle-treated group. Values are the mean of pooled data from 3 independent experiments ().
